No video thumnails

I am using Opensuse 13.1 with thunar. In 12.3 I had thumbails for video files in Thunar, in 13.1 I no longer do, nor in PCManFM. Does anyone have any ideas on how to generate thumnails for video files?

Re: No video thumnails

Is there a thumbnails folder in your ~/.cache folder?Do you have a thunarrc file in your ~/.config/Thunar folder?And finally, the folder that you are testing this on, are there alot of video files there? If so, can you test on a folder with one video file first?

Here is an interesting update to my testing above. I re-installed Xubuntu 14.10 (tumbler 0.1.29) and the thumbnailing works. This is a slippery one.

There is not a thumbnails folder in ~/.cache.

There is a thunarrc in ~/.config/Thunar/. There is not one in the user that can generate video thumbnails.

I can put one video in a folder. However, when I created a new user, Thunar did create video thumbnails.

How about a tumbler.rc file? The default one should be located at /etc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.rc, but you might have a user-specific one somewhere in your home directory (~/.config/tumbler/ ?). There is an option in there to disable video thumbnailing.

The rc in /etc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.rc is shared with the account that can generate video thumbnails. I searched my home directory and did not find a file with "tumbler" in the name.

I searched for ffmpeg in my home directory, and found none. I then searched for gstreamer and removed every hidden gstreamer file. I then re-booted. I now have video thumbnails for everything except .mpg.
